The Wanda Chapel Scholarship was established by the Springfield Branch of the American Association of University Women in honor of Ms. Chapel, former president of both the Springfield and state of Illinois AAUW. Civic and community involvement – a standard in AAUW – increased during Ms. Chapel’s tenure and included the first statewide Legislation Day along with numerous other cooperatives and groups. Membership in the AAUW remained at all-time highs. The AAUW-WCS is awarded to a non-traditional female student of Sangamon County (or a nearby county w/o an AAUW branch) whose education has been interrupted.
